During a Thursday evening interview with Fox Sports’ Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes touched on the clear favoritism<\/a>\u00a0for her opponent Ronda Rousey<\/a> in the promos for their UFC 207 fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a Friday morning media scrum in LA, the women’s bantamweight queen elaborated on the inherent Rousey focus in these UFC 207 promos<\/a>. In her opinion, the UFC is using these one-sided promos to help Rousey rebuild her confidence after her famous 2015 knockout loss to Holly Holm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UFC wants to make it easier for her,\u201d Nunes told the media (via MMAFighting.com)<\/a>. \u201cSo she doesn\u2019t feel like she\u2019s not the champion anymore. They want to make her feel like that, that she\u2019s not the second [to me]. They want to make me kind of the second to make her get stronger or something. I feel like they tried to promote her so she can be strong and see that. Like Ronda, Ronda Ronda, Ronda. But she knows she\u2019s the challenger; I\u2019m the champion. Nobody can change it. Nobody can make Ronda the champion. She\u2019s not the champion anymore.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Ronda<\/a><\/p>\n

Nunes continued, reiterating that the bias in the UFC 207 promos is an effort to rebuild Rousey’s battered confidence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThey see that [she’s unconfident],\u201d Nunes explained. \u201cUFC sees that. That\u2019s why they do that. Because she needs like a push so she can come back. But with me, nothing is gonna change. I really am gonna do the thing that I\u2019m training for. And I\u2019ve been ready for this moment. Videos, talk, nothing is gonna change the thing I\u2019m gonna do that night.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Nunes believes this is why there’s a such a focus on Rousey in UFC 207’s many promos, she assured that she’s not bothered by this imbalance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m OK with it,\u201d she said. \u201cThe only thing that I look for in my career is this thing right here \u2014 the belt. Be the champion. And whatever they want to do with Ronda, they can do. She promotes good. It\u2019s gonna sell a lot of pay-per-views. This is the thing that I look for. It helps me at the same time.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
